Chapter 995: It's all slander from the United States
While the whole world was concerned about whether the Rhine Camp incident would affect the relations between Germany and the United States, another explosive news came from Washington, saying that the Katyn massacre more than 50 years ago was committed by the Soviet Union, and the United States had obtained evidence in the first place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but because of the use of the Soviet Union's military power to defeat Germany, he chose to conceal it.
That's right, the United States knew that the Katyn tragedy was done by the Soviet Union, but it was only because the Soviet Union and the United States had to jointly deal with Germany at the beginning, and later prevented the Soviet Union and the United States from becoming enemies that could not be turned around.
Shortly after the end of World War II, the U.S. Congress did not set up a special commission to investigate the Katyn incident. In its final report, issued in '52, the commission declared the Soviet Union's crimes unmistakable and called the massacre "the most barbaric crime in the history of the world." The Commission considered that the Roosevelt regime may have concealed the Holocaust from the public, but noted that this was due to military necessity. The report also recommended that the U.S. government file a lawsuit before an international tribunal for the actions of the Soviet Union, but the U.S. government did not do so. Although the Special Committee has come to strong conclusions.
This time Serov dug up the Rhine battalion, which first detonated the crimes of the United States in the war. All of a sudden, the German people's hatred of the United States intensified, and the entire Federal Republic of Germany was full of suspicion of the United States. Of course, the US military, which has lost the support of the Germans, is not afraid that the Germans will dare to oppose the garrison, but the 750,000 German Wehrmacht will be separated from each other, which will make the already unbalanced NATO and the Warsaw Pact even more disparity in strength.
It can be said that with the Rhine battalion being dug up, NATO, in addition to the most powerful force of the United States, 750,000 German Wehrmacht troops may flee without a fight after the start of the war. This loss would have been fatal for NATO, which was inferior in ground power to the Warsaw Pact. NATO, having lost the Wehrmacht, could not even comfort Western Europeans.
The base of the US military in the Federal Republic of Germany has never been so fragile for decades. Even around many U.S. military camps in Germany, U.S. soldiers could already feel the resistance that the Germans had suppressed in their hearts, and this kind of soft violence made all U.S. soldiers uncomfortable.
The bigger blow is in terms of morale, although Serov has ridiculed the American army as just mercenaries armed with money, but the army of any country has its own spiritual backbone, in other words, after joining the army, the soldiers must first take over the brainwashing. The Soviet Union used the ideas of the people, communism, and collectivity to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Soviet armed forces in all aspects. Although the US military has not instilled values in all aspects of the armed forces in this way, it still has similar patriotic education.
Coupled with the treatment of a strong army, although the spiritual level of the US military is not as strong as that of the Soviet army, which would rather die in battle than surrender, it has also maintained the confidence of confrontation. The Soviet Union emphasized collectivity, and the safety of the individual was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, and it would also forgive some war crimes. It's just that the KGB will always settle accounts after the autumn and clean up the Red Army to calm down the people's anger.
The American military did not think that the United States had ever done such a deliberate mass abuse of prisoners of war, and the Americans in the Rhine camp could accept it happening to the Soviets, but they were not at all mentally prepared for it to happen to their own army.
The United States has set the tone of human rights too high, and now even ordinary US soldiers believe it. And there were still internal affairs forces in the Soviet Union that did not believe in this set. Reagan's public acknowledgment of the existence of the Rhine battalion was equally distressing to the American soldiers in Germany.
This distress did not last long, and only one day later, the CIA published the report of the investigation into the Katyn massacre in the fifties, claiming that the Soviet Union had created the Katyn massacre. The Katyn tragedy was re-mentioned, which directly brought the film Rhine Camp into the second half. Influential newspapers in the United States reprinted one after another, and a massive media war began.
In Warsaw, the capital of Poland, up to 100,000 protesters gathered on the streets, hoping that General Secretary Jaruzelski would let the Soviet Union release the details of the Katyn massacre, whether it was done by the Soviet Union, whether it was slandered by the Americans, or whether it was true.
The huge wave of protests sent the Polish capital into a state of spring, and it also troubled the general secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party, Jaruzelski, who was always in a situation that had led the entire socialist camp to think that Poland was a problem child. But the Katyn tragedy was indeed very important, and he had to take into account the attitude of the Soviet Union.
The Rhine camp and the Katyn massacre were intertwined and became a tool for the United States and the Soviet Union to blame each other. Reagan, after being slapped with a smack, also did not forget to give Serov back.
"General Secretary, there is a wave of protests in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, are we putting pressure on Jaruzelski to quickly restore order in Poland?" General Chebrikov said worriedly.
"Can't do this, isn't this an admission of the Soviet Union's weakness?" Serov was also a little blindsided by Reagan's blow, but immediately reacted and said, "Immediately let the Komsomol Pravda refute it and accuse the United States of fraud." If such evidence exists, why has it not been published for decades? It is obviously to divert the focus of the Rhine camp case. ”
"I see, Comrade Ligachev has noticed this." Chebrikov also felt that the repression would backfire.
"Chebrikov, in fact we have already won. The United States is now smearing each other with us, and the United States no longer cares about its own human rights claims, and this is already a victory. Serov, who had completely calmed down, said indifferently, "The United States thinks that by presenting evidence to accuse us of creating the Katyn massacre, it can dilute the heat of the Rhine camp?" I'm telling you, I've been prepared. ”
The United States, which smeared each other with the Soviet Union, was not terrible, not to mention the Katyn tragedy, Serov had noticed many years ago, not only burned all the files, but also forged a detailed file and put it in the Stasi. In the end, the killer was sent to the United States to dispose of the American knowers who investigated the Katin tragedy in the fifties. If Reagan really cared about the Katyn tragedy, he would have found that the so-called witnesses in the US investigation report had all died of various diseases and accidents in the sixties and seventies.
In addition to the dead Brezhnev and Khrushchev, only two people who are currently alive know about the Katyn massacre files in the Soviet Union, except for Serov himself, and Sherepin, who advised Khrushchev to destroy the archives.
The report of the Katyn tragedy caused by the U.S. attack on the Soviet Union also opened up a dusty memory. Like the Rhine camp, the Katyn massacre was an unsolved case of World War II. Countries have sided with each other, either on the side of the United States or the Soviet Union, blaming each other for the black spots, but just like this, the long-term loss of this public opinion war is still the greatest for the United States.
As a big spy who is not willing to pay for any losses, Serov does not even want to bear this black cauldron, the Katyn tragedy can never be recognized by the Soviet Union, that little conscience would rather feed the dogs, not to mention that there is nothing wrong with killing a group of class enemies from the perspective of the proletariat, as for Poland and the Soviet Union having enmity and mistreating the Red Army prisoners of war, you can go back a little later.
Komsomolskaya Pravda published a special feature pointing out the doubts about the United States' announcement of the truth about the so-called Katyn tragedy at this time, and pointing out that the United States had achieved its ulterior motives by concealing that the Rhine camp was on the cusp of the storm.
"The Katyn massacre has long been publicly stated as a war crime committed by the Third Reich. The United States' use of blame to frame the Soviet Union is a bottomless public opinion attack, and the evidence provided is full of loopholes and has no credibility. ”
Komsomolskaya Pravda quickly refuted the U.S. investigative report and said that the Soviets had already found out.
"Now, the GDR needs to come in!" Serov, who was fiddling with the jade bracelet, smiled, using the Katyn tragedy to make a fuss, it was no longer feasible twenty years ago.
A few days after the United States and the Soviet Union attacked each other, Honecker, the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Socialist Sedent Party of the GDR, expressed his stance on the recent boiling Katyn tragedy. When the results of the investigation came out, we informed Moscow, and the Soviet comrades persuaded us to conceal them, because the GDR had absolutely nothing to do with the former Third Reich, and the people of the GDR were also victims of the expansion of the Third Reich. ”
The GDR then opened a report of more than 10,000 pages, in which some old people arranged by the Stasi, in the name of World War II veterans, confessed that their troops had officially carried out the Katyn massacre.
Immediately after that, the general secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party, Jaruzelski, flew to Berlin to meet with Honecker and asked for access to the Katyn massacre archives kept by the GDR, which Honecker agreed. All of a sudden, the GDR and Poland turned all their attention to the Katyn massacre. The coverage of the Katyn massacre completely overshadowed the coverage of the Rhine camp.
"There is no point in dwelling on the hatred of the past, and I hope that the GDR and Poland will cherish the unity of the socialist camp, which is why I advised the GDR not to publish the Katyn massacre file in the first place. We all understand that the GDR was completely different from the Third Reich, and that the war crimes of forty years ago should not be borne by the people of the GDR today. ”
Serov's statement about the Katyn massacre was accompanied by Moscow's emphasis on unity in the socialist camp. It does not hide the social-imperialist side at all, but it is this kind of statement that is what many countries recognize as the hegemonic Soviet Union. It is precisely this kind of threatening statement that strengthens its credibility.
So? This incident should have been done by the United States to distract the attention of the Rhine battalion and slander the Soviet Union. The Kremlin has asked the United States to identify the witnesses in the files. All eyes are on the Americans.
"After this time, the credit of the United States was basically bankrupt." Serov is not worried at all, could it be that Reagan can make the dead speak?
